What is the highest checkout in darts?
170 is the highest possible checkout: treble 20, treble 20, bullseye. Anything above 170 cannot be finished with three darts, because the most you can score in three darts is 180 and the last dart has to be a double.
Which scores cannot be finished in three darts?
Seven scores below 171 have no three-dart finish: 169, 168, 166, 165, 163, 162 and 159. These are called bogey numbers. On any of them you must throw a deliberate setup dart and leave yourself a finish for the next visit.
How does 501 darts work?
Both players start on 501. Each visit is three darts, and the total is subtracted from the score. The first player to reach exactly zero wins the leg, and the dart that takes them to zero must land in a double or the inner bull.
What happens if you go below zero in darts?
You bust. The visit is void, the remaining darts of that turn are forfeited, and your score returns to whatever it was at the start of the visit. You also bust if you leave exactly 1, because the lowest double is 2.
Does the bullseye count as a double?
Yes. The inner bull is worth 50 and counts as double 25, so it is a legal finish under double-out rules. The outer bull is worth 25 and is a single, so it cannot finish a leg.
Is this darts scoreboard free?
Yes, completely. There is no sign-up, no ads and no limit on how many legs you play. It runs entirely in your browser, so it also works on the phone propped next to the board.
What is a good three-dart average?
A casual pub player averages roughly 40 to 50. A decent league player sits around 60, a strong county player around 80, and professionals average 95 to 100 or more. Averaging 60 means you finish a leg of 501 in about 25 darts.
